Contact lens waste accounts for less than 0.5% of the average person’s personal waste — but it’s still important to do your research into the sustainability practices of any vision care brand you choose. Daily lenses actually generate less waste than glasses or longer-wear contacts (which come with extra plastic waste from solution bottles and storage cases). In fact, just one bottle of contact lens cleaning solution produces more plastic waste than two-and-a-half years' worth of daily lenses!
We know you care about our planet, and we do too. That’s why we’ve created lenses that are naturally biocompatible and require up to 20 times less water to manufacture than other brands. All Aveo contacts ship from our LEED Gold–certified facility in mailing boxes with a minimum of 50% post-consumer content — and every component of our packaging is 100% recyclable.
